the human body’s temperature is typically in the upper 90s, then why does an 80-90 degree day feel so hot? Wouldn’t it feel cool to us relative to our body temperature?

The metabolic processes that keep you alive keeps your body at 98ºF, your body needs to constantly get rid of that heat. The hotter it is outside, the harder it is to get rid of the heat and the hotter you feel. If it’s 98º outside that means if your body is doing absolutely nothing, it will maintain 98º; but the processes that keep you alive are burning calories which warms you up so it has a hard time getting rid of the heat since the outside air matches your body’s temperature.
